"Recommended Web Sites in Anthropology"

http://www.studysphere.com/Site/Sphere_6766.html

This first site is very interesting because it has lots of articles (also in another languages) about most of the anthropological areas (linguistic, cultural, biological, even paleoanthropology and others). The articles has been written by very different people from different universities (and they represent them because the name of the university appears on the web) across the world, so one can have opinions from cultures and realities very diverse.


The interest thing about this other site is that it’s directly linked with an Australian museum (online) so ,apart from the articles and different archaeological collections you can visit it from your house. Also it defines what anthropology is, so one can have a little vision. Here is the link:

Hope you enjoy them.

Last weekend....



Last weekend... last weekend... It was kind of different from my tipical weekend. Why? Well, I went out on friday, wich is not actually weird (on the contrary, it always happend). So, on the saturday's morning I was with a friend at my dad's house, although he wasn't there. We took a great breakfast and we sat on the couch to see a movie ("wing´s of desire"... that´s good life, isn´t it?) and we were in the best of it when my mom called and told me that I had to be at my house early because we were going to go to a especial place that afternoon for a ritual. Hence, and considering that I had to buy some clothes because I had a serious "clothes lack", we stopped the movie, got dressed quickly, and went out as fast as we could with a destination: Patronato. There we bought some clothes, laught a lot and around three pm, she went to her house and I went to meet my mom and my sisters to go to the ritual. It was in Colina, so it was a long trip. It was really wonderful... nothing else to say.
Sunday was the tipical sunday when I´m at my mom´s house. We get up late, we get breakfast and my grandmother arrives. Then we do nothing for a while until my mom start cooking and that means that we have to go and cook or do whatever is necesary (cook, clean, etc). Then, around 3 pm, we have lunch. Then on the afetnoon we all see a movie (wich means take a nap) or me and my sisters study.
Then my mom takes my grandmother to the subway, and the day is over...
That was my last weekend. But this one I´ll be at my dad´s so it would be different. One weekend with my mom, one with my dad, that´s how it works. But always with my sisters and brother so there is a picture of us.
